When can I?

Question

When can I wipe my sons penis after Circumcision? It say it takes 7-10 days to heal and I can’t talk to doctor till tomorrow!

Answer

It depends on what type you had done. We had the plastic strip one and we were told not to submerge it in water and only to rinse with water if it got poop on it. We couldn’t touch it until it fully healed.

Answer

They didnt give you instructions at the doctor’s?
I was told to use a wet wash cloth or gauze  to clean him with using ONLY water. No actual wipes until it was fully healed since they can irritate the skin and make it take longer to heal. You then pat dry and apply A LOT of vaseline and then we use a non stick square gauze on top of the penis as additional barrier. 
That was how our doctor showed us to do it. He was healed in less than a week.

Answer

It is ok to use wipes on him now, just be as gentle as you can.
